I did a double take at your name. Hello doppelganger!

Very cool! I've designed a lot of Hilbert Curve marble tracks, using OpenSCAD and python

Yeah if there's more interest I can publish the GH and onshape! I just need to sanity check that I didn't leave any keys in it or anything...

hi! You can do /cost at any time to see what the current session has cost

It is API billing like AWS - you pay for what you use. Every time you exit a session we print the cost, and in the middle of a session you can do /cost to see your cost so far that session!

You can track costs in a few ways and set spend limits to avoid surprises: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-c...

Thanks! We all dogfood Claude every day to do our own work here, and solving our own pain points is more exciting to us than abstract benchmarks.

Getting things done require a lot of booksmarts, but also a lot of "street smarts" - knowing when to answer quickly, when to double back, etc

Right now no, but if you run in docker, you can use `--dangerously-skip-permissions`

Some commands could be totally fine in one context, but bad in a different i.e. pushing to master

hi! I've been using Claude Code in a very complementary way to my IDE, and one of the reasons we chose the terminal is because you can open it up inside whichever IDE you want!

Part of our vision is that because Claude Code is just in the terminal, you can bring it into any IDE (or server) you want! Obviously that has tradeoffs of not having a full GUI of the IDE though

We are definitely aware of this (and working on it for the web UI), and that's why Claude Code goes directly through the API!

hi! I've been working on demos where I let Claude Code run for hours at a time on a sandboxed project: https://x.com/ErikSchluntz/status/1894104265817284770

TLDR: asking claude to speed up my code once 1.8x'd perf, but putting it in a loop telling it to make it faster for 2 hours led to a 500x speedup!

Even when I feel this, 90% of any novel thing I'm doing is still old gruntwork, and Claude lets me speed through that and focus all my attention on the interesting 10% (disclaimer: I'm at Anthropic)
